Should I Learn Java or C

A
usual dilemma for a new learner! Or how many languages should I learn or master so that I can surely get a job?

When you embark on the journey of an IT career, many people get confused about this choice. Really speaking, you do not have to run after learning multiple languages. The key is to learn one language very well so that you become very proficient in it. You should be able to develop applications in that language. Once this feat is achieved, you can learn and program in any other language with ease or you can learn any other programming language on your own, very fast. The mantra is “perfection in one language”.

So, now the question is which “one” language one should choose to start with or focus on.

Full-stack Developer: Popular languages

Technology

This is developer survey 2022 by Stackoverflow. If you carefully look at it, you have a clear choice of Java Course, C#, and Python as programming languages. The other popular names like JavaScript, SQL, and Typescript you would eventually learn if you get into developing web applications.

Full Stack Developer: Solution building over just writing program

For becoming a software developer Java Technology or C# are good choices. Because both of these languages are part of bigger enterprise solution platforms. You should be aware that an aspiring software developer needs to focus on “solution building” rather than just “programming”. One needs to have sufficient knowledge of all the components and frameworks needed to build a complete software application.

Let us look at both platforms a little more closely.

If you carefully observe, there is striking one-to-one correspondence as shown above. In nutshell, both the technologies have similar features to implement a software solution.

How to make the choice between two similar or almost similar technology stacks? The answer is very simple. Whichever technology you would like to work with is the right choice. If you have done a project in your graduation in one of these or related technologies, going in depth for the same technology is a good idea. For example, for one who has worked on Visual Basic, Microsoft technologies would be an obvious choice.

Full Stack Developer: Java or C#

In my opinion, you can start with either Java or C# and master the solution building in it. Once you are an expert in one technology, in reality, you already know the other language, almost. With some training and study, you will be able to handle the other technology in a very short span of time. One of the important points is that both these technologies provide equal job opportunities.

Let us not worry too much about whether it is Java Course or C#. Start with the one which you feel appropriate, and develop proficiency in it. Do not stop there, start acquiring knowledge of the latest frameworks and tools to build the enterprise applications like full-stack. That is, with Java/C#, start learning HTML, CSS, Angular, React, Bootstrap, NO-SQL databases, etc.

5 traps to avoid while choosing a technology training course

A
fter graduation, choosing the right training course is a very critical decision for a fresher. It is really a life-changing decision. However, this can turn out to be a disaster if due care is not taken. There are various traps on the way which can through you out of track. Here are some dangerous ones to really avoid.

1. Focus Only on the most glamourous and cutting-edge technology courses.
Technology Courses

There are technologies that are the talk of the town. Everyone is saying something or the other about them. Just google and you will find many technology trend reports saying that there are millions and zillions of jobs available in this field for the next 5 years. Do not take it at just its face value.

Search for a training course, and you will be bombarded with many different ones. Surprisingly, almost every course will promise the greatest career and lots of money. Secondly, the technology taught in the course is most advanced, but there is no pre-requisite knowledge/experience needed to master it. You just come, do the course and work in the glamorous world of this cutting-edge(bleeding-edge?) technology.

Be cautious. Be skeptical. These are all half-truths. This may work in some cases, but not always.

For example, Data science is touted as the sexiest career option. Everyone wants to be a data scientist and earn a hell lot of salary. However, becoming a data scientist is not everybody’s cup of tea. Just a training course is not going to make you a data scientist. Knowledge of data, in-depth understanding of statistical methods, and interest in learning statistics are some of the key pre-requisite, we blissfully ignore.

Please do not focus on just the technologies which are in limelight for now. They may or may not become mainstream. Choose wisely. Focus on technologies that are aligned with your personal interests and preferably academic background. For example, to pursue a career in web application development look for variants of Full Stack development courses.

Full Stack Java

You would choose one which covers Java-Spring, Node js, ASP.NET MVC or PHP.

2. Just Ignore Technologies and skills that build Foundation.
Build Foundation

The second corollary to the focus on technologies with glamour is to ignore or not care about learning the foundation or pre-requisite skills.

Let me give an example of an Android training course. A group of students came for an Android training course. Even when students were told that a good amount of hands-on practice for Java is the prerequisite for learning this course, nobody wanted to learn Java. Everyone was eager to create an Android App and become a billionaire in a day.

Android training was over. Everyone believed that now they can just go and crack the Android interview. The interview went for one hour and can you guess how many questions were asked on Android? Zero. For the entire one-hour duration questions were asked only on Java and you know what would have been the results! Do you want to get into this situation?

Remember, for a web application development career Programming language, OOP concepts, and SQL are key foundations.

3. Ask for a course with the highest Placements/Salary and blindly join it.
blindly join

This is very typical. Imagine you want to build six-packs and instead of going to Gym or taking proper advice from an expert in this area, you went to a shop. Ask for what is the most selling or popular vitamin or protein supplement. Just start consuming it from the next day onwards and will you have a six-pack body in 6 months?

The same is true with learning. Do not attempt to learn the skill because it gives you a higher salary. Check your passion, current skill set, and pre-requisites, and then decide on the most appropriate course. If you are not sure reach us on : 9225520000

4. Because your brother’s cousin’s cousin got a job
Job

Many a time we follow our friends and relatives. We tend to choose the course because someone in our close circle has got a job after doing a particular course in the past. Everyone around us is giving us examples of such a person and how he is overseas working happily etc. etc.

This may work for some cases but not all. It is important to check if the same technology is in demand now? Do you have the pre-requisite skills and interests? If all these conditions are met then this may work for you too, else it is difficult.

5. Choose the shortest possible training course.
Training Course

Course duration is one of the most popular parameters. This very thinking pattern is used in marketing by some training institutes. It is evident in their pitch; which says “become expert, get job, in just a few(1/2/3/4) months”. When you see this, try to understand how much of it is marketing and how much is the real truth.

You will agree that to study any subject and achieve some level of expertise will take some amount of time in terms of one or two months based on the depth required and complexity of the subject. Beyond this, Learner has to apply the learning in a real environment and perform the job function. On average, to master any skill in information technology, a fresher would need at least 3 to 4 months of dedicated work.

In many cases, training programs also provide internships or projects. More often than not, we choose only training and happily skip the internship portion. If you carefully observe, any profession like medicine, an internship is not only compulsory it is vitally important for performance and growth on the job. Cutting the overall cost of training and allied expenses in pursuing a shorter duration program can turn out to be a short-sighted decision.

Friends, do not fall into such traps while choosing a training program. Remember, everyone who has mastery of the right skills will rule the future.

IT Career – केल्याने होत आहे रे, आधी केलेची पाहिजे

” केल्याने होत आहे रे, आधी केलेची पाहिजे ।। ” हे समर्थ रामदासांचे वचन करीयरच्या दृष्टीने फारच महत्वपूर्ण आहे. करीयर घडवण्यासाठी साठी आधी  प्रयत्न करणे हा रुढार्थ. माझ्या मते त्यात आणखी एक अर्थ दडलेला आहे आणि तो म्हणजे कार्य करा (Do), नुसती पोपटपंची नको. कोणतेही कार्य यशस्वीपणे तडीस नेता येण्यासाठी त्याबद्दलची  माहिती(Knowledge) आणि त्या माहितीचा समस्या सोडविण्यासाठी उपयोग करून दाखविण्याचे कौशल्य( Skill/ Doing ) आत्मसात करणे गरजेचे आहे.  उदाहरणादाखल एखादी जावा (Java)सारखी प्रसिद्ध प्रोग्रामिंगची भाषा घेऊ. ‘ जावा प्रोग्रामिंग ‘ मध्ये  नोकरी मिळण्यासाठी ‘जावा’ ही भाषा वापरून प्रोग्राम लिहिता येणे अत्यंत आवश्यक आहे. नोकरीसाठीच्या मुलाखतीआधी पाठांतर करणाऱ्यांनी कितीही हुशारीने ‘जावा’ बद्दलच्या अवगत माहितीचे प्रदर्शन केले तरीही प्रोग्राम लिहायला सांगितल्यावर अशा वाक् पंडितांची  भंबेरी उडणे स्वाभाविक आहे. विद्यापीठामधून उत्तीर्ण होऊन बाहेर पडणारे बहुतांशी नवीन उमेदवार अशा प्रकारचे  ‘वाक् पंडित ‘ असतील तर औद्योगिक क्षेत्रात काम तरी कोण करणार !

सध्या “instant” गोष्टींचा जमाना आहे. कुणालाही मागे वळून पाहायला वेळ नाही. प्रत्येकजण करीयर आणि त्या अनुषंगाने येणारा पैसा या साठी जमेल तो  “short-cut” घ्यायला तयार आहेत. व्यायामशाळेत जाऊन मेहनत करून शरीर कमवण्यापेक्षा जीवनसत्वांचा(vitamins) किंवा जमल्यास उत्तेजक द्रव्यांचा वापर (भडिमार ?) करून जिंकणे महत्वाचे ठरू पाहत आहे. अशा परिस्थितीत करीयर संबंधी “short-cut” न वापरणे खरच कितपत शक्य आहे?

इच्छा असेल तर असे करणे अजिबात कठीण नाही. आपल्याकडे पदवीसाठीचे अभ्यासक्रम ३ किंवा ४ वर्षांचे असतात. हे अभ्यासक्रम विषयाची सखोल माहिती होण्याच्या उद्देशाने तयार केले जातात, परंतु औद्योगिक क्षेत्र आणि टेक्नोलॉजी यांच्या विकासाची गती जास्त असल्यामुळे काही वर्षानंतर औद्योगिक क्षेत्रासाठी आवश्यक कौशल्ये आणि अभ्यासक्रमात अंतर्भूत कौशल्ये यात तफावत निर्माण होते. ही तफावत बहुतेक वेळेला कार्य कौशल्याची असते आणि ही तफावत कौशल्यावर आधारित शिक्षणाने कमी करता येणे सहज शक्य आहे.

आपल्या पदवीसाठीच्या विहित अभ्यासक्रमात असलेया विषयाची सखोल माहिती करून घेताना [ उदा. डेटाबेस ], त्याच्या बरोबरीने नोकरीसाठी उपयुक्त कार्य कौशल्ये [ SQL  आणि PL-SQL] आत्मसात केली तर नोकरी मिळवणे आणि उत्तरोत्तर प्रगती करणे सोपे जाईल. खालील तक्त्यात अभ्यासक्रमात असलेले विषय आणि त्याच्या बरोबरीने येणारी तांत्रिक कार्य कौशल्ये दिली आहेत. अभ्यासक्रमाबरोबरच तांत्रिक आणि वर्तणूक कौशल्यांमध्ये प्राविण्य मिळवणे नोकरीच्यादृष्टीने महत्वाचे ठरते. अशाप्रकारे नोकरीसाठीआवश्यक कौशल्ये पदवीबरोबरच आत्मसात केली तर अनेक फायदे आहेत. पदवीनंतर नोकरी मिळण्यासाठी उशीर लागणार नाही. त्याबरोबर येणारा ताण आणि पैसे दोन्ही वाचतील. आणि पदवी घेतल्यानंतर वेगवेगळ्या कोर्सेस साठी आणखी पैसे आणि वेळ खर्च करण्याचे कारणच राहणार नाही.

Software Development Engineer in Test

T
here is a general myth that software testers need not know how to program. In the current era of test automation, treating the application just as a black box is no more enough, software tester should have ability to open the box and provide valuable insights and create automated tests as he/she can. Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) is the new name of this next-generation software tester.

In the world of Fast-IT and digitalization, disruptive technologies like Social, Mobile, Analytics/Big Data, Cloud(SMAC), and IoT are challenging established definitions of everything. New software development approaches like DevOps are promising faster and quality delivery advocates Agile and automation. Which promises more and more automation and frequent releases. Testing the applications which are developed in these latest technologies is complex and demands not only the knowledge of software testing but even of the development and some nuances of the technology in itself.

The industry has now started demanding a profile of a specialized tester called SDET, Software Development Engineer in Test. SDET is a software tester with expertise in programming, the next step of automation tester. As time will pass, a clear trend is emerging toward a preference for SDETs over only QA engineers.

Considering this demand to create next-generation software Testers or SDETs, leading training institutions SEED Infotech has created a job-oriented course that not only prepares one for current job challenges but gives an edge through the latest technology learning to put one on the fast lane of becoming SDET, the future!
